Graphics card for Flight Sim. X

[Lonz]

Is there a graphics card out there that will be able to play Flight Simulator X on near max settings on say 1280x1024 for say 60FPS, when say coupled with a Quad Core CPU?

The benchmarks I've seen aren't very clear and was wondering what it was like in real life situation.
Any input welcome

a 8800GTX for just 1280x1024? I thought it was taxing...but not that taxing

 

[Lonz]

Can anyone else shed any light onto the situation?

On which resolution?

If its on 1680x1050 with everything to max and fine, why the hell would you try it with 1280x1024 aswell? lol.

Anyway...thanks for the info.

I'm only on a 4800+ at the moment, if I can get away without upgrading that then I will, otherwise will probs get a Quad. Do you think it will be a bit of a bottleneck, the 4800+?

I've seen that chart before, but it's not up to date. I hear SP1 has a lot of considerable performance gains does it not? does anyone know of a benchmark with the new SP1 being used?
